It is fairly OK in terms of the compatibility across Apple products - as always for the ecosystem. However, the way it works is totally poor - when the apps is closed (either by user or somehow killed by iOS) the airplay connection drops. In opposite, content played by chromecast seems to sustain individually, regardless of the apps status.
Even I am using iPhone and have an Apple computer at home, a chromecast hardware is installed and more frequently used than Airplay.
Do anyone else experience similar as me?
AirPlay is great for spur of the moment stuff, but AirPlay is trash compared to what Spotify connect is. Coming from a 15 year Apple fanboy, if Apple figured out a way to compete with Spotify connect they’d dominate in a dangerous way.
Never looked into it, but I get the feeling Spotify has a patent on that feature. No one else offers the same functionality even though it’s a damn good one that seems simple.
It’s such a logical thing to “handoff” audio but Apple is 5 years behind on it. I should t have to pause my entire phones audio when I want to stream to a speaker group.
